Sept 27th | Teething.

[msashhh]

So today is the third day that my daughter has had serious need for attention. Seriously, before - she can go half the day playing just by her self now she's crying constantly. It all began with lots of  diarhea. Then, a really high fever then we looked in her mouth and bam we see all these teeth approaching. Or trying to break through. We did baby orajel she slept good last night. Then, apparently we called the doctors (urgent care on weekends) to get some advice on the NEW situation we've found.

Yesterday, I took her a luke warm bath to bring down her fever. And, I tried to brush her teeth and I thought i was nothing when she kept pushing my hand away. Normally, she'll let me rub her teeth. But this time around she just was giving me that look like "ma it hurts". So, i stopped and finished her bath. Then, this morning when we got up she started to cry like it was more than just her teeth. Then, daddy looked at the inside of her upper lip and noticed that there was puss and whatever. But it looked like a bubble with puss inside. Then, told me to grab a napkin and then we notice her teeth were bleeding. She had toast too last night. My auntie said thats what she did for her kids when they were teething.

So, she did end up sleeping late but she slept good. so, that was good. But, man, today with the bubble looks like she's struggling to eat (drink her milk). We bought popcicles and teething tablets. I"m hoping this gets solved and resovled soon because this sleepless nights are getting harsh on me and daddy.
